Update> S13s always break (Build update - Brad)

Hey guys,

sorry it's been awhile since i've posted on the blog. My job has been taking up a great portion of my life recently.

Anyhow with the extensive traveling of my job, i was able to squeeze a free weekend and brought my car over to my 626drift friend's shop(Garage Life). As usual with every S13, everything needs to be replaced or fixed. Ray @ West covina Nissan hooked me up with some OEM belts and my friends @ PBM hooked me up with some subframe collars to tighten up the rear end.

With the help of Garage life friends and Kristian from SP engineering, we were able to finish the belts ups in 30mins, and another hour on the subframe collars.

However to my dismay, after dropping the car back down...the thick PBM collars were sitting 2-5mms away from my kazama toe rods =( .....so i guess in due time i'll have to get some version 2 toe rods from PBM to compensate with the suspension geometry of the car...anyhow, here are some pics i snapped tonight...

Update> Jared's S13 Update 2011

Hello world!

Its been about a year since my last update on my car and quite alot has changed.

I've done a couple car shows lately and won Hottest JDM @XDC remix which I was pretty excited about. I wish I had done more before, who would have known what I could have won. I was able to do a couple drift events before my wiring had fried so i thought it was time to do a complete re-vamp of things.

I decided that I would Kick the old s15 turbo to the curb in place for a new twin-scroll top mount kit. The manifold is a Future Fab TS dual wastegate setup that is compatible with a/c(which is a must in AZ) and power steering. It will be mated with a Garrett GTX3071r turbo. This is a new design by Garrett which allows quicker spool and more power thruought the power-ban and has an increase of total HP of 580 (previous 3071r is 460hp).

I've stockpiled many parts over this time period so here is a quick look into my 2011-12 s13 re-build...
